Yum Yum Katsu is a Japanese-style tonkatsu restaurant in Cheonho-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, where each cutlet is breaded and fried to order. The hire-katsu (tenderloin) is remarkably tender despite its thickness, while the rosu-katsu (loin) has a satisfying grain and texture. The batter is light and grease-free, keeping the meal easy on the stomach from start to finish. Both salt and sauce dipping options work well. A generous cabbage salad with perilla dressing and noticeably fresh rice and side dishes round out the meal. The compact shop stays spotless, and arriving at opening on weekends helps avoid the queue.
